Gate Attendants

Every now and again I feel truly compelled to say thank you to an otherwise thankless job. Today, I salute the airline gate agents. It is an unbelievable task to ask people to line up when they should to board. Every passenger has a ticket telling them when and yet you all seem so overwhelmed with folks that just don't get it. Their seat or boarding group just doesn't register to them that they have a specific time to stand there. How they made it to you thus far remains a mystery. Why they took exit 34 to get the airport than what would seem likely exit 12, given when they line up. So, gate attendants, I say thank you for constantly telling people A comes before B and rows 20-35 does not include row 12.
